Brentwood Police welcome two ‘great new hires’ to their department | Communities

Brentwood Police Chief Richard Hickey introduced the department’s two new police officers – Justin Damerville and Erik Jimenez – during a swearing-in ceremony at the Brentwood City Commission meeting on May 28.

“Boss, these are great hires,” said Commissioner Susannah Macmillan. “Thank you for continuing to choose quality over quantity and for continuing to recruit the best to join the best.”

Damerville previously worked as a police sergeant in Portland, Oregon. He holds a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and a master’s degree in public administration and is a veteran of the U.S. Army.

“He was a medic for four years and in the National Guard for five years,” Hickey said.

A native of Santa Barbara, California, Jimenez was a corporal with the Pismo Beach Police Department in California. He attended Santa Barbara City College before enlisting in the United States Marines.

“He served as a Marine for five years and I think one of his coolest assignments was protecting the President of the United States while he was at Camp David,” Hickey said.

Both men have years of experience as police officers in other departments and are now ready to serve the residents of Brentwood.
